Today I bring you a popular science article. If you are vague about the concept of industrial gloves and household gloves, you can read this article. The most obvious difference between industrial and household gloves is the usage scenario, but is that only the case? The following content will provide you with more information.
1 About the glove standard
Industrial gloves must pass a series of technical tests to determine whether they meet certain safety requirements. Such as puncture resistance and abrasion resistance testing, tensile and elongation testing, and chemical resistance.
If the glove fails the test, there will not be some certification labels on it, but this does not mean that the glove is unsafe to use, it just does not meet the certification standards. Prompted by certification standards, manufacturers will produce higher-quality gloves, which is a good thing.
Because of the single application scenario, household gloves only need to meet several characteristics. For a certain fixed application scenario, there is still a good enough sense of use, such as excellent performance in terms of waterproof, cut resistance, and chemical resistance.
2 Some misunderstandings
Some people think that industrial gloves and household gloves are two completely different products, but in fact, they are not. These products can sometimes appear in the other's use field. For example, nitrile-coated gloves are widely used because of their excellent flexibility and grip, such as in the construction industry, from handling building materials to painting walls. Many people have discovered its advantages and bought it to use at home, such as home improvements and garden tasks.
Another point of view is that some people think that industrial gloves must be stronger than household ones. This is not necessarily true. We can find that people often equate the word "industrial" with "strong". Indeed, the standard of industrial gloves is higher. However, which glove is better still needs to be judged according to the needs. For example, the waterproofness of household silicone wash gloves is sometimes stronger than that of industrial gloves; there are more types of industrial and the strength will be higher than that of the household ones.
